Can I get married if I have a pending family\u2019s application?<\/h3>\n\n

It depends on who applied. <\/span>Were your siblings, your parents U.S. citizens, or your parent who is a lawful permanent resident? <\/span>This will determine the answer to the question.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Can I get married while obtaining documents based on my family’s application<\/a>? Next, we’ll answer your questions with specific information about the person who filed your family petition.<\/p>\n\n

Petition for children of citizens:<\/h3>\n\n

In this case, if you are married, pending family\u2019s application will not be affected and you will have to wait longer to apply for residency.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Petition for children of citizens:<\/h3>\n\n

A U.S. citizen can file an application for his or her sibling, even if he or she is married or wants to get married while the application is pending. Getting married will not affect the waiting time for your priority date to take effect. That is, according to the Visa Bulletin, the date on which you can apply for residency has arrived. <\/span><\/p>\n\n

According to Visa Bulletin, the waiting time for a petition in Mexico is about 22 years, compared to 15 years in Spanish-speaking countries outside of Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Petition by a citizen parent:<\/h3>\n\n

If you have a<\/span> family petition from a citizen<\/span><\/a> parent who registered when you were unmarried, your status will change under immigration law.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

If your parent is a resident only, then:<\/h3>\n\n

Immigration law provides that a lawful permanent resident parent can only petition for an unmarried child. If you have a resident parent application, and you have decided to get married, your family\u2019s application petition would be revoked. In other words, you would no longer be able to apply for legal residency. <\/span><\/p>\n\n
